Hi... This afternoon, after 3+ days of uptime, my news server had what appears to be a SCSI bus hang...I'm not *too* concerned about it, but have noticed something "neat" about Solaris. In the same office, we have a Sparc20 running Solaris, and every once in a while, we seem to get a SCSI bus hang there as well, but after Xsecs (seems like about a minute, might be less), the system seems to send a reset and continues on its way. What I'm seeing might not be what I think it is (ie. might not be a SCSI bus hang), but its what it feels like... Now, under BSDi, when I used to run it, the newer versions would actually put out a message to the console when the bus hung, so that you knew what was wrong...so it seems that in the PC world, there is a way to detect a hang... ...the question is, is there no way of issuing a RESET so that the deadlock causing the hang is cleared?
